My sons iphone 3gs has no icons/apps on any screen it can switch to camera but how do I get the icons back when I can't hit any buttons to go to utilities?
Never mind another forum question answered my question and it worked hold the power key for 10 seconds , keep holding the power key and press the home key for 15 seconds then while still pressing the home key let go of the power button and continue holding the home key for 15 seconds and it will re-set itself and don't forget to stand on one hand while singing the national anthem in the key of g while drinking a glass of water ;]

If you do from the phone try from iTunes and vice versa. -

I have a iPhone 3GS but the volume keeps going down till its off when playing songs. Help!, I have a iPhone 3GS but the volume keeps going down till its off when playing songs. Help! I didn't have this problem before. I am listening via the speakers of my stereo. I have done that before but never had a problem like this before.
Thought it had worked but soon found out it had not.
after further days of trying finally, solved it for me Yesterday.
turned off notifications when locked, and bingo, wow.
i have not turned off iCloud but location services are also off.
best thing to do I found was keep checking your usage, settings, general, usage, and flip down to bottom, if the standby and usage are similar there is a problem, if there is a big difference then all is ok. Just keep turning things off and on until the difference is very apparent.
something on my phone was keeping the phone alive even when turned off, and I think this was the phone repeatedly trying to update continually.
to me this is definitely down to the iOS, my wife has exactly same phone and iOS but hers doesn't have any problem and the battery lasts for days.
the guy at the Genius Bar told me to restore the phone via iTunes, not iCloud. This is because iCloud remembers the exact info from your phone and simply reinstates it when you restore, and this includes the iOS too.
when I get home from holidays that's what I'll do, or wait for iOS 8 in few weeks. But I'm so pleased I finally made it work, I was beginning to think ditch the phone and buy Samsung.
anyway anyone out there please try my final solution and let me know if it works for you? -
i need help!!! my iphone 3gs keeps turning off once every 2-3 months or so, but now i cant fix it!! i have it stuck in recovery mode but everytime im about to finish with the process error -1 comes up!!! please heellpp!!!
If the iPhone was hacked or jailbroken, can't be discussed.
If no, see post above ^^. -
My screen on my Iphone 3gs has lost it's light, Like, I have to hold it in some type of light to see it, what is wrong here?
This is called "no backlight problem". Try a Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart, usually takes 10 seconds of holding both buttons.
This problem is usually due to Liquid Damage to iPhone, either Logic Board component or LCD Display.
If you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage, hope it is not Liquid Damage and make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution. -
White screen of death iPhone 3GS 16gb
My iPhone 3GS displayed the White screen of death and was told to restore my phone but iTunes said there was a problem and now my iPhone won't turn on at all.
That happened to me once and the only was is to fix it is to use recovery mode.
1. Connect your USB cable to your computer but NOT your iPhone.
2. Turn your phone off.
3. When your phone is off, press the home button and connect your iPhone to your computer.
4. Your iPhone will turn on and keep pressing to the home button. iTunes logo will appear on your screen.
5. You can start your restoration progress.
Hope this helps. Thats is how I saved my phone. It also seems to me that the phone you are using right now may had been jailbroken and stopped working. -
my iphone 3gs is showing only white screen. Continuous pressing of home button only voice control is enabled. Nothing except white screen is visible.Please guide it to recover.
Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, usually takes about 10 seconds oh holding both buttons. If still problem. Try DFU Mode Restore. DFU Mode. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode can be difficult to enter sometimes, just keep trying. DFU Mode is a black, blank screen with iTunes saying Recovery Mode.

Camera icon on lock screen in iOS 5.1 only makes lock screen jump on iPhone 3GS
I upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5.1 just now - and found the first bug within the first few seconds.
The camera quick access icon on the lock screen only makes the lock screen jump up and down a little, so about half of the photo app's lower bar, where the shutter, still/video icon etc. is, becomes visible for less than a second. And that's it.
I can't believe that nobody tested this on a 3GS.
It seems Apple got completely lost in stuffing in more and more frills and gadgets, everything after iOS 3.1.3 is way beyond a simple, clear and easy to use interface, and every little frill introduces more and more bugs and flaws. Having something simply and clear has been something that Apple was really good at - but that seems to be history.
Man, I'm SO annoyed - and SO disappointed.Sorry, I meant swiping, not tapping.
It took me three reboots and one restore from the previous backup, only after that it started working as expected.
I also noticed that a lot of ram kept being marked as used although not a single app was running in the background.
Anyway - why did it need to be a swipe instead of a tap? One can only access it after a home button press - safe enough to not accidentally activate it.
I miss the possibility like in iOS 3 to assign the home button double-click to the camera start. THAT was really handy. -
Help, Can't restore my iPhone 3GS
I was downloading a new software (vs. 4.3.5 I think) for my iPhone 3GS and a "1015 problem" occured. I have restored it more than 5 times but nothing happens, im scared of doing "jailbreaks" 'cause im not using the original SIM nor company because Im in Chile and needed to change USA's "AT&T" for a latin company called "Claro". Please Any Help???
You cannot get help on this forum. Error 1015 occurs when trying to restore a jailbroken phone. If your phone was originally locked to AT&T and now you're using it in Latin America, your phone was definitely jailbroken.
Terms of Use of this forum prohibit the discussion of jailbroken phones. You cannot get help here. You must search elsewhere on the internet for help. Just be aware, however, you may NEVER get your phone working again. -

I understand that when you power your computer on, the light is on and the CapsLock blinks, but you have a blank screen.Here is a link to HP Desktop PCs - Computer Starts but Monitor Remains Blank (Windows 8).As you stated you see lights flashing by the CapsLock, I think this will help.
